The resolution of Lander Post, G. y.
r., dcnouncing the Washington Hcpp5li
cum for its interview, puncturcs the liadi-
calism to the core and exposes the poliii-
cal motive in trying TO use the Grand
Army against Mr. Cleveland and the De
mocracy. These little episodes tend to
bring common sense TO bear on the pop
ular feeling for reconciliation. 1t is not
expected that all are wise men who speak
at suppers under the festive inspiration
of such occasions, and there is no use to
make anything out of foolish speeches.
The Russians, Poles, and Bohemians
nocking into the United States just now
constitute the dangerous germs of com
munism and socialism. They are the
revolutionists i'm monarchical countries,
and try to make Americans believe that
our people have the same complaints ia
urge against our free government. In
fact these pestilerous creatures are the
social Jacteroa OF poisonous matter That
make political and social malaria.
The Hrald thinks that there are cX-
ceptions to this, but It is certainly true
that the dynamite and conspiracy That
have infected our healthy air lately came
from this source, and there should be
some measures taken to stop the immi-
grafton of such irresponsible and wicked

NoGALEs, A. T., May 13.-The follow

"HERMOsILLo, MEX, May l3.-Further
adVices continue to arrive slowly from

place yesterday. He reports the
towns of Arispe and Oputo
completely destroyed. From thirty-fve
to forty people were buried in the ruins,
and nineteen were severely injured. The
towns of Granada and Luasibas were
greatly damaged and several people were
injured, but no loss of life is reported.
Although the water has risen and the
earth has opened at various points, nc
volcanoes are visible. The district OF
Arispe, IN Northeartern Sonora, suffered
badly. The valley of Fronterss was in
undated by water, and nearly all the
houses in Fronteras were destroyed.

Smtth-Jury Out IN the Humes Case.
Special to the Gazette.
SHERMAN, TEX, May I3.-The case of
Manuel D. Martin, Mexican. who is
charged with the helnous crime of COM
hitting 3 rape on a little girl thirteen
years Of age, in the Indian Territory, and
which has been under investigation be-
fore United States Commissioner Ricketts,
since yesterday, was closed to-day.
Martin was committed to jail to be trans
ferred to Fort Smith, Ark, to await final
trial at the August term of the Federal
court. This case is remarkable one
from the fact that Martins wife is
charged with being accessory to
the crime, having assisted her hus-
band to decoy the little girl
sway from her home to Martins
house where he perpetrated the deed.
Martins wife was placed in jail with her
husband this afternoon by Deputy United
States Marshal Lum Johnson, who has
worked faithfully to ferret out the case
and bring the criminals to justice.
The case of Wash Humes, negro who
is charged with numbering q negro at g
dance in this city in July, 1885, and
which has been on trial for the past three
days in the District court, was given to
the Jury tonight and a verdict had not
been rendered at late hour.

PITTsBURG, Pa, May 13.-Dr. McGlynn
of New York, who was announced to
speak at the City hall this evening, during
an interview, said his alleged disrespect
in speaking of the Pope had been miscon-
strued, and that when he referred to an
old gentleman in Rome having heard
from him from an old gentleman in
America, he meant Cardinal Semoni, pre-
feet of the propaganda, andBishop Gilmou1
of Cleveland, respectively, and thought
he had treated them very considerably
when he called them old gentlemen.

WICHITA FALLS, TEX, May 49,
Thomas Hart, son of Surveyor Hart OF
Archer county, was out on East's round

sideration of that happy. thought, tenders
him free ride to the penitentiary and
board and lodging for the period of two
years, together with a suit of Jacobs pat
tern accompanied with tailorifcs that are
fully up to the requirements of the times.
Jay Barber, the fifteen-year-o boy,
was again placed on trial on the charge OF
signing Mrs. Charles Words name to an
order on j. A. Kemp for So, and the jury
found him guilty and assessed his punish
ment at two years in the penitentiary
making the second two-year sentence for
forgery. Considering the extreme youth
of this lad, and the little such a boy can
know of the enormity of the crimes he
has committed, it seems like severe
punishment.

CCurant, 'Is that the cOl7stabulary laws
of Massachusetts, and Rho>te Island have
not been successful. This OBJ -ction over
looks The essential fac tnAit the con-
stabulsry of Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island wers appointed to enforce - strictly
prohlbitory law, and their failure is be-
cause of the fact that in the real nature of
things such law cannot be enforced any
where unless the local sentiment is over
whelmingly il favor of it. The failures
referred to were due Co the prohibftory
law, not to the inability of the officials TO
enforce license law. To admit that the
proper officials, as designated in the orig
iaal bill, could not enforce the law is to
admit that the Governor cannot find
proper man for Inspector, that the state
does not contain an honest man who
would honestly carry out the law, an ad-
mission that ought not TO be made, st
least until the experiment has been
tried" The same thing can be said for
Texas. The Post believes that high
license law could be enforced, and much
good accomplished under it, while it
thinks prohibition wrong in principle, IN
fair in purpose and impossible of enforce
ment.-[ Houston Post.
In their platform of principles the anti

hibitiOn amendment to acknowledgements

can" is new tune, and it is intended as
catch for Republicans. This is the first
time we have ever heard of RepuOlicanism
and Democracy going to bed together.
Wonder if they will prove good bedfellows.
For years Democratic anti-Prohioitionists
have been cursing prohibition as the child
of northern Republicanism, and no longer
than few weeks ago Gibbs hurled his
bitter sectionalism in ReasOner's teeth
because he was Ksns as Republican who
favored prohibition. There is one thing
certain, if it is undemocratic it is not
anti-Republican. In states where Demo-
Gratis are in the majority it is denounced
as Republican scheme to disor-
game the Democratic party, and in states
where ReDubliCsnismi is in the asCendency
it is opposed IS a'vile Democratic trick.
Republicanism and Democracy don't 60
together. Prohibition is g non-partisan
question, and any one, whether he be

or Dutch, Jew or GENTLE, csn vote for or
against it without interfering in the least

The Post believes that prohibition will
be defeated in Texas, as it ought to be.
Then will come the better plan of local
option and high license. The Post admits
the evils charged against the the liquor
traffic. All sensible men admit them, but
the question is,What is the better remedy?
Shurely not prohibition, which, though it
prove fairly effective in one direction,
would be wrong in principle, and for that
reason dangerous to a government
founded upon liberal ideas Of personal
liberty. Public sentiment everywhere
seems to be crystalizlng in favor of high
license. As has been often suggested,
high license law, fairly enforced, would
result in lessening the number of low
saloons and groggeries, and in putting
the business of liquor selling into the
hands of men who will obey the laws and
can be held to account. About the best
idea on this subject comes from the
Hartford Courant, which paper suggests
that as the strong liquors average so
per cent. of alcohol and the malt
| liquors average 5 per cent, it is
| right that a considerable reduction should
| be made in the amount of tax to be paid
| by those who wish to sell malt liquors
! only. For these reasons: l. The use of
malt liquors is much less injurious to in
| dividuals and to the peace of society, and
2. The distinction in tax would tend to
substitute the sale and use of malt
! for alcoholic liquors, and so lessen the
dangers arising from the liquor traffic.
| But it is sef-evident if such distinction
were to be made the most stringent
measures would have to be enacted for
| its enforcement; otherwise the cheap
er licenses would be taken out
and alcoholic liquors sold under them
Now experience has taught pretty effect
ually that local authorities and local SEN
timent cannot be depended upon to
secure the steady enforcement of the
liquor laws. Much less would they en-
force a Observation-Disclosures in its provis-
ions an additional incentive for break
ing it. To procure proper enforcement
il is essential that there should be pro.
per inducement IN the way of pay or sal
airy for the officials having this duty in
charge. So long as human nature remain
what it is laws of this character will not
be enforced unless there be a selfish
inducement to this end. ANY law on the
subject would be compelled to fully rec
ognize this fact. The present liquor laws
of Texas are sadly deficient in the matter
OF machinery necessary to their thorough
enforcement, and the adoption OF high
license law could be made the convenient
occasion for repairs IN this direction
The Legislature of Connecticut has Just
adopted high license law, but, strange
to say, omitted this necessary machinery
for its enforcement. The supposed
reason for this omission, argues the
